I think it is just the opposite. In my particular situation at work, if we go the simple route (it's just a 2 step CRUD wizard, so that'd be Rails/django/etc) other 5 people might be redundant.

We need a team of 5 people to mantain this project (and a few smaller ones) because of the architecture (SPA + Go microservices) and the tools (React, rxjs, redux, data loaders, graphql, typescript safe actions whatever, an in-house-built crazy i18n system, custom webpack, some 10s of other open source libraries, and some other 10s of internal custom libraries).

It's crazy. Really crazy.
